My Project

Dear Donors,

I am a school librarian at a Title One school in an urban school district.

My students are smart, savvy, and love checking out books in our school library. My primary students are in the market for getting some new easy readers. Scholastic publishing company has a new series for beginning readers called Acorn series.

These books will be great for my students who are just learning to read. The pictures can help them decipher what the text says also.

I hope you will consider donating to this project!

Ms. Ellingsen Dunlap Elementary School Grades 3-5
